What will happen if my school decides to take part?
Schools will be asked to send or email study information to pupils and parents/guardians. If enough pupils are interested in taking part then the school will be asked to provide a space in the school (e.g. a classroom) for an hour. Schools and participating pupils will be given a voucher as a thank you for taking part.
The study is organised by Keele University and is looking to investigate musculoskeletal pain experienced by children in the hopes of creating resources and guidance that can be shared nationwide.
